Have A Chat With Hannah 28 November

Hi lovely readers!

I’m back from my little holiday, and I had such a wonderful time.

Adam and I rolled out of bed last Friday around 4am, grabbed our camera gear, and hit the road up to Cape Hillsborough.

The fog settled over the canefields and mountains, and we just knew it was going to be an awesome day!

Of course, we made a little pit stop at the Farleigh servo to grab some breaky before hitting the road again. Once we arrived, I eagerly hopped out of the car, set up my camera, and raced down to the beach… Adam wasn’t too far behind me, lol.

We spotted four wallabies peacefully hanging out on the beach, and two were quite friendly. They even hopped right up to Adam to check him out!

It was such a cool experience. We’re truly blessed to live here!

In this edition, we’ve included a ‘Discover the City Centre’ feature on pages 19-25, highlighting the best of our region’s local gems, as well as a Gift Guide on page 27 running over this week and next.

This Christmas, I encourage you to check out our amazing local businesses and support local, because after all, that’s what keeps our beautiful region thriving.

Scripture of the week: ‘May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.’ – Psalm 33:22
